Hanson – UK General Election 2015

Given the unpredictability of the forthcoming General Election in the UK we thought we would add our two cents worth to the subject. Elections in the UK are changing and gone are the days where one party can command a majority in the House of Commons, which has been typical of the British Parliamentary System. The pollsters have the main two parties as neck and neck, but pollsters are not always right and the beauty of a secret ballot is that you can say one thing, do the exact opposite and no one will know till the votes are counted. A more accurate predictor is probably the Bookmakers, who indicate that the two main parties will receive roughly equal numbers of seats with the Conservatives maybe at a slight advantage.
